This looks like the issue that was discussed on this list recently under the subject line "tar 1.29 bug: tar ignores --exclude option" (and also Debian bug#824902). See, for example: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2016-05/msg00022.html https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=824902 Nathan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nathan Stratton Treadway - natha...@ontko.com - Mid-Atlantic region Ray Ontko & Co. - Software consulting services - http://www.ontko.com/ GPG Key: http://www.ontko.com/~nathanst/gpg_key.txt ID: 1023D/ECFB6239 Key fingerprint = 6AD8 485E 20B9 5C71 231C 0C32 15F3 ADCD ECFB 6239
